[Biennial Contents]
The Library has been an integral part of
the Station since its founding, growing continually from the nucleus of Richard Archbold's
personal collection. The library focuses on ecology, organismic biology, Florida natural
history, and agro-ecology. The holdings include about 6,150 books and 6,400 bound serials
volumes and the library subscribes to 200 journals.
During 1997-98
the library added 416 bound serials volumes, 150 books, and 11 metal bookcases (increasing
shelf space by 15% and gaining 5 years of growth space). The library acquired all of the
ABSEARCH biology databases, giving us electronic bibliographic access to our legacy
holdings in important journals in ecology, plant ecology, wildlife management,
conservation biology, and zoology. The library upgraded its subscription for Current
Contents (CC): Agriculture, biology, and environmental sciences edition to the CD-ROM
version. This multi disciplinary database gives bibliographic access to 1,000 journals,
and the library subscribes to 110 of these. Thus CC is our electronic window on the
recent issues of our core journals. The Library began subscriptions to 5 new journals: Animal
Conservation, Applied Vegetation Science, Ecology Letters, Ecosystems, and Journal
of Insect Conservation. Major donations were received from Research
Affiliate James Carrel (J. Chemical Ecology,
nearly complete set; Vol. 2-22, 1976-1996), Research Associate Tom Eisner (Experientia,; Vol. 38-47,
1982-1992), and Research Affiliate Jack Hailman
(20 books in ornithology).
